chris stevens was a believer in the people of libya. that is why they're mourning his death. it is quite logical that he would be a target of al qaeda or groups associated with al qaeda. whether they knew he was at the compound on september 11, we do not know yet. some people have dismissed that and said it was accidental. i do not yet. the best information i have had is that ambassador stevens was in benghazi to open a cultural center. that would have been known more broadly. it is an open question as to whether the terrorist knew that he was there. the're out to get ambassador. >> what you think about the security at the consulate in libya? what kind of failures are you aware of or are you concerned of? >> the security was obviously an adequate. -- obviously inadequate. hindsight is always clearer. we have to say that as a qualifier. it is pretty clear now that there was a lot of intelligence coming out of the benghazi area. eastern libya was loaded with violent extremist groups. there have been terrorist attacks. there have been improvised explosive device in june. there h
